What it was Like to Run my First Marathon

from Podcasts – Marathon Training Academy · host Trevor Spencer

In this episode we reach into the podcast vault and play a recording from when Trevor ran his first full marathon. This is an entertaining look at the joy and agony a first-timer feels, especially someone who once hated running. After two years of hard work Trevor was able to transform himself from a desk potato to a successful marathon finisher. He ran the 2011 St. Louis Rock 'n' Roll Marathon with a finishing time of 4:31:40. He's since completed 25 marathons and two 50ks. [powerpress] [box] Links Mentioned in This Episode Run Coaching.
